You know I try not to keep up with the latest happenings of ‘the resistance’ but am I to understand now they are protecting the powerless mom & pop business called *checks notes* Amazon from Trump? 💀— DarkSkintDostoyevsky (@daniecal) April 4, 2018
Yeah, pretty much.
Amazon got where it was from a huge number of subsidies, like not having to collect sales taxes, and has shown itself to be a toxic workplace. (And that's not considering the tax subsidies that it gets for locating its warehouses, and the spectacle of them shaking down locan and state governments for a satellite headquarters)
If Amazon faces off against Donald Trump, I hope that there is a way that both of them can lose, but if not, I'd have a hard time selecting who I would want to be the victor.
BTW, also read Dave Dayen's take on this. He does a good job of explaining all of this.
